This accessible and engaging text explores the relationship between philosophy science and physical geography It addresses an imbalance that exists in opinion teaching and to a lesser extent research between a philosophically enriched human geography and a perceived philosophically empty physical geography The text challenges the myth that there is a single selfevident scientific method that can and is applied in a straightforward manner by physical geographers It demonstrates the variety of alternative philosophical perspectives and emphasizes the difference that the real world geographical context and the geographer make to the study of environmental phenomenon This includes a consideration of the dynamic relationship between human and physical geography Finally the text demonstrates the relevance of philosophy for both an understanding of published material and for the design and implementation of studies in physical geography This edition has been fully updated with two new chapters on field studies and modelling as well as greater discussion of ethical issues and forms of explanation The book explores key themes such as reconstructing environmental change species interactions and fluvial geomorphology and is complimented throughout with case studies to illustrate concepts

The second volumeto be published in the autumn after the delivery of the 1908 lectureswill begin with the third and concluding part of the scientific section which is a very carefully revised and rearranged second edition of my book Die Seele als elementarer Naturfactor 1903 The greater part of this volume however will be devoted to the Philosophy of the Organism ie Section B which in my opinion includes the most important parts of the work Some apology is needed for my presuming to write in English I was led to do so by the conviction mistaken perhaps that the process of translation would rob the lectures of that individual and personal character which as I said before seems to me so much to be desired I wished nothing to come between me and my audience

Excerpt from The Science and Philosophy of the Organism The Gifford Lectures Delivered Before the University of Aberdeen in the Year 1907This work is not a textbook of theoretical biology it is a systematic presentment of those biological topics which bear upon the true philosophy of nature The book is written in a decidedly subjective manner and it seems to me that this is just what Gifford Lectures ought to be They ought never to lose or even try to lose their decidedly personal characterMy appointment as Gifford Lecturer the news of which reached me in February 1906 came just at the right moment in the progress of my theoretical studies I had always tried to improve my previous books by adding notes or altering the arrangement I also had left a good deal of things unpublished and thus I often hoped that I might have occasion to arrange for a new improved and enlarged edition of those books This work then is the realisation of my hopes it is in its way a definitive statement of all that I have to say about the OrganicAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books Find more at wwwforgottenbookscomThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work Forgotten Books uses stateoftheart technology to digitally reconstruct the work preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy In rare cases an imperfection in the original such as a blemish or missing page may be replicated in our edition We do however repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works

For some time now the philosophy of science has been undergoing a major transfor mation It began when the received view of scientific knowledge that developed by logical positivists and their intellectual descendants was challenged as bearing little resemblance to and having little relevance for the understanding of real science Subsequently an overwhelming amount of criticism has been added One would be hardpressed to find anyone who would support the received view today Yet in the search for a new analysis of scientific knowledge this view continues to exert influence over the tenor of much of presentday philosophy of science in particular over its problems and its methods of analysis There has however emerged an area within the discipline called by some the new philosophy of science that has been engaged in transforming the problems and methods of philosophy of science While there is far from a consensus of beliefs in this area most of the following contentions would be affirmed by those working in it that science is an openended ongoing activity whose character has changed significantly during its history that science is not a monolithic enterprise that good science can lead to false theories that science has its roots in everyday circumstances needs methods concepts etc
